Dave Chappelle Slams Michael Jackson Accusers and “Cancel Culture” in Netflix Special

“This is the worst time ever to be a celebrity,” he says in the special, which was released Monday. “You’re gonna be finished. Everyone’s doomed.” Dave Chappelle was quick to address the controversies surrounding Michael Jackson, R. Kelly and Kevin Hart, all within the first 20 minutes of his new Netflix special, Sticks & Stones, which was released Monday. In his fifth special in the past two years, the comedian tackles “cancel culture,” or as he describes it, “celebrity hunting season.” “This is the worst time ever to be a celebrity,” Chappelle says in the special. “You’re gonna be finished. Everyone’s doomed. Michael Jackson has been dead for 10 years, and this  has two new cases.” He then reiterated for those who have yet to watch HBO’s Leaving Neverland, which detailed Jackson’s alleged child abuse throughout his career, “Don’t watch it. … It’s fucking gross.” He then went on to explain that though it may not be the right thing to say, he admits that he doesn’t believe the accusers who allege that the King of Pop sexually abused and raped them. “I don’t think he did it, but you know what? Even if he did do it … you know what I mean?” he paused, as the audience erupted into laughter. “I mean, it’s Michael Jackson. I know more than half the people in this room have been molested in their lives, but it wasn’t no goddamn Michael Jackson, was it?” He also took a moment to defend “poor Kevin Hart,” explaining that he was aware it was the comedian’s “dream to host the Oscars.”  “I don’t know what you know about Kevin, but I know that Kevin Hart is damn-near perfect,” said Chappelle. “As close to perfect as anybody I’ve ever seen. In fact, Kevin is precisely four tweets shy of being perfect.”
